Delay every email you send by 3 mins.. and avoid the ‘Oh no!’

This is tip I picked up thanks to Lifehacker featuring the article from the ‘How-To geek‘ to use outlook rules to delay the sending of every email by 3 emails.

How many times have we sent an email –

-> when we were in a bad mood and regretted it the moment we sent the send button
-> with the wrong attachment and realized it just after..
-> and then realized that we could have tailored the message better..

I’ve been doing this for the past 8 months and I’ve found it to be incredibly useful. Almost 1 out of every 3 emails I send are re-opened within the next minute for edits.

Well Gmail has an option called “Undo” where you can “unsend” your email just after you’ve sent it :)
